Lucknow tour in one day - Private & guided tour
Description
Explore Lucknow in one full day with a private guide. Sprinkled with Islamic and British Raj–era architecture, stuffed with fascinating bazaars and famed throughout India for its food, the capital of Uttar Pradesh is something of a sleeper: plenty worth seeing, but often overlooked by travelers. Central Lucknow features wide boulevards, epic monuments and several parks and gardens that contribute to an atmosphere of faded grandiosity.

Nice way to get a glimpse in to History of Lucknow. Our guide was fluent in Hindi and English. Explained the finer details well. We are happy that we took this tour.
This is an amazing tour. Leel Singh is knowledgeable and extremely friendly and engaging. He was very accommodating to our schedule and just made us feel taken care of. He did his job with so much passion.
Anupam was a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable about the sites we saw but also discussing life in Lucknow and current events in India. The tour took in different sites and areas which have shaped Lucknow’s history and we saw a rich tapestry of life, even hearing stories and histories of buildings which were not on the tour itinerary.
Wonderful trip through the main sites of Lucknow. The Great Imambara was truly impressive, and the maze of hallways upstairs was fun to explore. Really enjoyed learning about the history of British rule in Lucknow at the Residency. Highly recommend going with a guide to get the full experience and historical value.
Really enjoyed all the history of the places we visited which the guide was able to provide. Very well organised. Just felt it was a little rushed at times - would have liked to have spent a little more time at some of the spots and not finished early.

I recently explored Lucknow with TourLucknow, and it was a stellar experience. Bhartendu, our guide, shared fascinating insights into Lucknow's history and culture, adding depth to every stop. Sanjay, our skilled driver, ensured a smooth and safe journey. The TourLucknow team's impeccable service and the dynamic duo of Bhartendu and Sanjay made this trip truly memorable. Highly recommend for an enriching and enjoyable tour of Lucknow!
Thank you Zafar for organising such amazing services. Everything went just as I wanted and thanks for suggesting the cuisine walk which was amazing and I must say this was the best food I tasted in decades.
Wow. It was amazing and relaxing tour. Lucknow is still untouched but I suggest every history lovers to visit Lucknow once in their life for sure.
Thank you Vimal for organising this wonderful one day tour of Lucknow. You get to see everything within this short span of time by opting for this.
Thank you for such a wonderful service TourLucknow. Food walk tour in the evening was the highlight and I have never enjoyed such delicious items of chicken and mutton anywhere in the world. Next day visit to Bara Imambara and Chhota Imambara was insightful. I never imagined the British made a lot of these and it has more history to explore than one could ever imagine.
